Jordan foils alleged Syrian arms smuggling attempt
None
Jordanian police are questioning two Syrians who allegedly tried to smuggle a large cache of arms including surface-to-air missiles into the kingdom, a security official said Wednesday. The official said earlier that preliminary reports indicated that five had been arrested near the northern Syrian border early Tuesday. He said the reason for discrepancy in the number was not immediately clear.
He said anti-tank missiles, surface-to-air missiles and assault rifles were seized with the men. He declined to say if the alleged smugglers were affiliated with any side in Syria's civil war. (AP)
